This is a mid-range overlock and coverstitch combo, built for someone who has already outgrown a first serger: it sews with 2, 3, 4 or 5 threads and chooses among 23 stitches, from a simple overcast to a cover stitch for stretch hems. Thread tension sets itself according to the chosen stitch, with a single dial instead of separate discs for each thread.

It reaches 1,100 stitches per minute across two sewing speeds, and stitch length, cutting width and presser foot pressure all adjust to suit the fabric. The free arm and the large sewing space let quilts and bulky projects pass through without forcing the work. Threading follows a colour-coded path, with a needle threader included among the accessories for anyone who would rather not thread by eye.

It weighs 9.5 kg. It suits someone who finishes edges and closes stretch hems on the same machine, switching from overlock to coverstitch without changing machines: it is not a first serger to learn on, but the next step for someone already sewing regularly.

Pros and cons

In favour

Thread tension sets itself according to the chosen stitch, with no separate discs to adjust.
It sews with 2, 3, 4 or 5 threads: it moves from a simple overcast to coverstitch without changing machines.
The free arm and the large sewing space let quilts and bulky projects pass through.
A needle threader is included among the accessories, for anyone who would rather not thread by eye.

Worth knowing

Needle threading stays manual, helped by an included tool: there is no automatic threader built into the machine.
Twenty-three stitches across overlock and coverstitch require knowing which to use for each job: it is not a machine to pick up and use right away.
